I'm saving rich texts from my custom component. It uses wysiwyg editor. Therefore there are html codes also. 

<table>
<tbody>
<!-- More here -->
<tr>
<td colspan="5"> </td>
</tr>
<!-- More here -->    
</tbody>
</table>

After saving and viewing them again I can see 'replacement character-U+FFFD' in empty td tag. I tried to add nbsp html entity. But it is replaced with empty character.

I want to save this td tag empty. Is there any way around to do that?

Thanks.

  • Which editor you use? If Tiny Editor go in Plugins -> Editors -> Tiny Editor and change the Entity Encoding setting to raw, or try all 3 options and see if that makes any difference.

  • And also: are you copying/pasting your code in the editor field ? Try again by only typing your code directly.

  • Why are you inserting whitespace in the empty <td> anyway? If it is empty, leave it empty, don't insert a space.

In your admin side, go to "Extensions" -> "Plug-in Manager". Then click on "Editor - TinyMCE".

Now enter the td[*] for "Extended Valid Elements" and save it.
